Links and XLinks??

Very new to HTML, not to mention XML and CSS and all the other
acronyms.

How can I put a link in an XML document?? I am trying to use CSS to make
document look attractive, and succeeding somewhat. But I can't figure out
links. I have book, XML Bible by Elliotte Rusty Harold. I think I read it
carefully, and this should work:

Opened the page in IE6. Moved mouse across the text that says `Write.'
Mouse cursor changed to ... I don't know what it's called. It looks like a

Clicked on text. Nothing happened.
